A collection of methods and tools for experimental photometry data
A good practice is to keep the raw photometry data in a dataframe with columns:
- times
- raw_isosbestic
- raw_calcium
- (optional) calcium
The preferred interchange format is the parquet format (.pqt
), which is a binary format that is fast to read and write, compressed and keeps typing information.
You can easily convert a dataframe to parquet pd.to_parquet('my_file.pqt')
and read it back pd.read_parquet('my_file.pqt')
.
